The words never stick because your brain has nowhere to file them. Learning vocabulary <em>by topic<\/em> \u2014 grouping words around travel, food, technology, or health \u2014 works with the way memory actually operates instead of against it. This guide explains why thematic vocabulary sticks, and then walks through four everyday topics with real word banks you can start using this week.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"810\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-2.jpg\" alt=\"empty gray airport seats during daytime\" class=\"wp-image-6359\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-2-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-2-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-2-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-2-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-2-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">empty gray airport seats during daytime<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Topic-Based Vocabulary Actually Sticks | \u70ba\u4ec0\u9ebc\u4e3b\u984c\u5f0f\u5b78\u7fd2\u8a18\u5f97\u4f4f<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ZM6Sg4SN7kU?feature=oembed\" title=\"How to Learn English Vocabulary by Topic\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your brain does not store words in an alphabetical dictionary. It stores them in networks of meaning. When you learn the word <em>passport<\/em>(\u8b77\u7167),your mind naturally reaches toward <em>airport<\/em>(\u6a5f\u5834)\u3001<em>luggage<\/em>(\u884c\u674e)\u3001and <em>boarding gate<\/em>(\u767b\u6a5f\u9580) \u2014 not toward <em>passion<\/em> ou <em>pasta<\/em>, even though those come next in a dictionary. Psychologists call these connected clusters &#8220;semantic networks&#8221;(\u8a9e\u610f\u7db2\u7d61),and topic-based learning (\u4e3b\u984c\u5f0f\u5b78\u7fd2) builds them on purpose \u2014 the opposite of \u6b7b\u80cc\u55ae\u5b57, or rote memorization.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is a second advantage that matters even more for busy adults. When words share a topic, they share situations. You will hear <em>refund<\/em>(\u9000\u6b3e)\u3001<em>receipt<\/em>(\u6536\u64da)\u3001and <em>exchange<\/em>(\u63db\u8ca8) together at a store counter (\u7d50\u5e33\u6ac3\u53f0), never one at a time. Learning them as a set means that when one word appears in real life, it pulls the others up with it. This is the difference between recognizing a word on a flashcard and actually producing it in a conversation \u2014 the gap most Taiwanese learners struggle to cross.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Topic learning also solves the motivation (\u5b78\u7fd2\u52d5\u6a5f) problem. A random list is a chore. But a set of words you can use on your next trip, in your next meeting, or at your next doctor&#8217;s appointment feels like a tool, not homework. That relevance (\u76f8\u95dc\u6027) is what keeps you coming back \u2014 and repetition, not talent, is what builds a large vocabulary (\u55ae\u5b57\u91cf).<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Travel Vocabulary That Travels With You | \u65c5\u904a\u82f1\u6587\u55ae\u5b57<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travel is the best topic to start with because the situations are predictable and the payoff is immediate. Break the theme into three moments: the airport, the hotel (\u98ef\u5e97), and getting around (\u4ea4\u901a). At the airport you need <em>boarding pass<\/em>(\u767b\u6a5f\u8b49)\u3001<em>gate<\/em>(\u767b\u6a5f\u9580)\u3001<em>layover<\/em>(\u8f49\u6a5f\u505c\u7559)\u3001<em>douane<\/em>(\u6d77\u95dc)\u3001and <em>baggage claim<\/em>(\u884c\u674e\u63d0\u9818). Notice how naturally these hang together \u2014 you would never meet just one of them on a real trip.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"651\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-3.jpg\" alt=\"food menu papers\" class=\"wp-image-6360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-3.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-3-300x181.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-3-1024x617.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-3-768x463.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-3-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-3-600x362.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">food menu papers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the hotel, the useful cluster is <em>check-in<\/em>(\u8fa6\u7406\u5165\u4f4f)\u3001<em>reservation<\/em>(\u8a02\u623f)\u3001<em>vacancy<\/em>(\u7a7a\u623f)\u3001<em>amenities<\/em>(\u8a2d\u65bd)\u3001and <em>front desk<\/em>(\u6ac3\u53f0). For getting around, learn <em>fare<\/em>(\u8eca\u8cc7)\u3001<em>transfer<\/em>(\u8f49\u4e58)\u3001<em>one-way<\/em>(\u55ae\u7a0b)\u3001<em>round-trip<\/em>(\u4f86\u56de)\u3001and <em>itinerary<\/em>(\u884c\u7a0b). Instead of memorizing these as a flat list, imagine a single trip and narrate it silently in English from the moment you leave home. The story gives every word a place to live.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Travelers also need verbs, not just nouns. You <em>board<\/em>(\u767b\u6a5f) the plane, <em>claim<\/em>(\u9818\u53d6) your luggage, <em>confirm<\/em>(\u78ba\u8a8d) a reservation, <em>cancel<\/em>(\u53d6\u6d88) a booking, and <em>extend<\/em>(\u5ef6\u9577) your stay. Verbs are where fluency (\u6d41\u5229\u5ea6) really lives, so pair each noun cluster with the two or three actions that go with it. A word bank of nouns alone leaves you pointing; the verbs let you actually speak.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Food Vocabulary \u2014 From Menus to Markets | \u98f2\u98df\u82f1\u6587<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Food vocabulary rewards you every single day, which makes it ideal for spaced practice (\u9593\u9694\u7df4\u7fd2). Split it by where you use it. At a restaurant you need <em>appetizer<\/em>(\u958b\u80c3\u83dc)\u3001<em>main course<\/em>(\u4e3b\u83dc)\u3001<em>side dish<\/em>(\u914d\u83dc)\u3001<em>medium-rare<\/em>(\u4e09\u5206\u719f)\u3001and <em>the bill<\/em>(\u5e33\u55ae). For dietary needs \u2014 increasingly important when traveling \u2014 learn <em>allergy<\/em>(\u904e\u654f)\u3001<em>vegetarian<\/em>(\u7d20\u98df)\u3001<em>gluten-free<\/em>(\u7121\u9ea9\u8cea)\u3001and <em>spicy<\/em>(\u8fa3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooking (\u70f9\u98ea) is its own sub-topic, and a rich one for describing texture (\u53e3\u611f) and method. English is precise about how heat is applied: you can <em>boil<\/em>(\u716e)\u3001<em>steam<\/em>(\u84b8)\u3001<em>fry<\/em>(\u70b8)\u3001<em>grill<\/em>(\u70e4)\u3001<em>roast<\/em>(\u70d8\u70e4)\u3001or <em>simmer<\/em>(\u6162\u71c9). Taiwanese cuisine uses all of these, so you already know the concepts \u2014 you are simply attaching English labels to skills you have. That is the easiest kind of vocabulary to learn, because the meaning is already in your head.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Describing taste turns a small food vocabulary into a large one. Move beyond <em>good<\/em> et <em>d\u00e9licieux<\/em> \u00e0 <em>savory<\/em>(\u9e79\u9999)\u3001<em>tender<\/em>(\u5ae9)\u3001<em>croustillant<\/em>(\u9165\u8106)\u3001<em>bland<\/em>(\u6e05\u6de1\u7121\u5473)\u3001and <em>rich<\/em>(\u6fc3\u90c1). These adjectives transfer everywhere \u2014 they are the words a food writer or a confident diner reaches for, and they instantly raise the level of your spoken English (\u82f1\u6587\u53e3\u8aaa).<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technology Vocabulary for the Modern Workplace | \u79d1\u6280\u8207\u8077\u5834\u82f1\u6587<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technology vocabulary is where career English (\u8077\u5834\u82f1\u6587) and everyday English overlap most, which is exactly why it ranks so well and matters so much for Taiwan&#8217;s professionals. The workplace core is compact: <em>deadline<\/em>(\u622a\u6b62\u65e5)\u3001<em>update<\/em>(\u66f4\u65b0)\u3001<em>backup<\/em>(\u5099\u4efd)\u3001<em>attachment<\/em>(\u9644\u4ef6)\u3001and <em>notification<\/em>(\u901a\u77e5). If you handle email in English at work, these five appear before lunch every day.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-5.jpg\" alt=\"A Caucasian male doctor from the Oncology Branch consults with a Caucasian female adult patient, who is sitting up in a hospi\" class=\"wp-image-6361\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-5.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-5-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-5-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-5-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-5-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-5-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Caucasian male doctor from the Oncology Branch consults with a Caucasian female adult patient, who is sitting up in a hospi<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then there is the vocabulary of digital problems, because software rarely behaves.

Notice that several of these are verbs and nouns at once \u2014 the app <em>crashes<\/em>, or you recover from a <em>crash<\/em> \u2014 which is common in tech English and worth pointing out to yourself as you learn.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A newer cluster is worth adding while it is fresh: the language of AI and remote work. <em>Prompt<\/em>(\u63d0\u793a\u8a5e)\u3001<em>dashboard<\/em>(\u5100\u8868\u677f)\u3001<em>bandwidth<\/em>(\u983b\u5bec)\u3001<em>remote<\/em>(\u9060\u7aef)\u3001and <em>sync<\/em>(\u540c\u6b65) now show up in ordinary office conversation. Because this topic is evolving, it is also the one where reading real content \u2014 a product blog, a help page, a LinkedIn post \u2014 teaches faster than any textbook. This is a theme where a good tutor or \u82f1\u6587\u5bb6\u6559 can help you keep the nuance straight, since usage shifts month to month.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Health Vocabulary You Hope You Never Need | \u5065\u5eb7\u8207\u91ab\u7642\u82f1\u6587<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Health is the topic people skip until the moment they desperately need it \u2014 a clinic (\u8a3a\u6240) visit abroad, a pharmacy (\u85e5\u5c40) in a country where nobody speaks Mandarin. Learn it early precisely because you cannot predict when it becomes urgent. Start with symptoms, which follow a simple pattern: <em>I have a<\/em> + symptom. <em>Headache<\/em>(\u982d\u75db)\u3001<em>fever<\/em>(\u767c\u71d2)\u3001<em>sore throat<\/em>(\u5589\u56a8\u75db)\u3001<em>cough<\/em>(\u54b3\u55fd)\u3001and <em>rash<\/em>(\u75b9\u5b50) cover most of what you would report to a doctor (\u91ab\u751f).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-6.jpg\" alt=\"white spiral notebook on brown wooden table\" class=\"wp-image-6362\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-6.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-6-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-6-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-6-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-6-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">white spiral notebook on brown wooden table<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pharmacy is its own small world of words: <em>prescription<\/em>(\u8655\u65b9\u7b8b)\u3001<em>dosage<\/em>(\u5291\u91cf)\u3001<em>painkiller<\/em>(\u6b62\u75db\u85e5)\u3001<em>side effect<\/em>(\u526f\u4f5c\u7528)\u3001and <em>refill<\/em>(\u7e8c\u9818\u85e5\u7269). These are high-stakes words \u2014 getting a dosage wrong is not a grammar mistake (\u6587\u6cd5\u932f\u8aa4) \u2014 so this is a topic where accuracy matters more than fluency, and slow, careful learning pays off.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyday wellness (\u65e5\u5e38\u4fdd\u5065) rounds out the theme and connects to the fitness (\u5065\u8eab) and health content you probably already consume online: <em>workout<\/em>(\u5065\u8eab)\u3001<em>nutrition<\/em>(\u71df\u990a)\u3001<em>rest<\/em>(\u4f11\u606f)\u3001<em>hydration<\/em>(\u88dc\u6c34)\u3001and <em>recovery<\/em>(\u6062\u5fa9). Because you engage with this content anyway, you can absorb the vocabulary passively \u2014 one more reason topics beat isolated lists.

The words only become yours through use, and the fastest path is context (\u8a9e\u5883). Instead of drilling <em>layover<\/em> in isolation, write one true sentence: &#8220;My flight to Tokyo has a three-hour layover in Osaka.&#8221; A word inside your own sentence is remembered far better than a word beside its translation, because you have done something with it. This is the single most important habit (\u7fd2\u6163) in vocabulary learning (\u55ae\u5b57\u5b78\u7fd2).<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-7.jpg\" alt=\"Language word\" class=\"wp-image-6363\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-7.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-7-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-7-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Language word<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Spacing beats cramming, and it is not close. Reviewing a topic set five times over two weeks builds far more durable memory than fifty repetitions in one night. A simple spaced-repetition (\u9593\u9694\u91cd\u8907) app \u2014 or even a paper flashcard box (\u55ae\u5b57\u5361) you rotate \u2014 turns this principle into a routine. The goal is not to see a word once and &#8220;know&#8221; it, but to meet it again just as you are about to forget it. That is when memory locks in.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, let one topic lead into the next. Travel bumps into food the moment you sit down in a foreign restaurant; technology touches health through the fitness apps on your phone. When you notice a word bridging two themes, you have found a genuinely useful piece of English \u2014 the kind that appears everywhere. Follow those bridges and your vocabulary grows like a web, which is exactly how a native speaker (\u6bcd\u8a9e\u4eba\u58eb) organizes vocabulary in the first place.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Simple Weekly System | \u6bcf\u9031\u5b78\u7fd2\u7cfb\u7d71<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You do not need a complicated plan \u2014 you need a repeatable one. Pick a single topic each week and give it a light daily touch rather than one heavy session. A workable rhythm looks like this:<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Lundi<\/strong> \u2014 collect ten to fifteen words for the week&#8217;s topic and write the Chinese gloss beside each.<\/li><li><strong>Tuesday to Thursday<\/strong> \u2014 write one true sentence per word, drawn from your own life, not a textbook.<\/li><li><strong>Vendredi<\/strong> \u2014 read a short real article or watch a video on the topic and hunt for your words in the wild.<\/li><li><strong>Fin de semaine<\/strong> \u2014 review last week&#8217;s set alongside this week&#8217;s, so nothing is left behind.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"634\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-8.jpg\" alt=\"Passport book\" class=\"wp-image-6364\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-8.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-8-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-8-1024x601.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-8-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-8-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/learn-english-vocabulary-by-topic-8-600x352.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Passport book<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four weeks of this covers travel, food, technology, and health \u2014 roughly two hundred genuinely useful words, all organized the way your brain wants them. For learners preparing for the \u591a\u76ca (TOEIC) or simply trying to sound natural at work, this is far more effective than another vocabulary app (\u80cc\u55ae\u5b57app) streak built on random, unconnected words. Topics give your English a shape, and shape is what you remember.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start today with the topic you will use soonest. If a trip is coming, learn travel. If you live in English email, learn technology. The best topic is always the one you can put to work before you forget it \u2014 and with a thematic approach, you rarely will.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources | \u53c3\u8003\u8cc7\u6599<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cambridge University Press \u2014 English vocabulary and learning research<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishcouncil.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">British Council \u2014 English learning resources<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cambridge Dictionary \u2014 word definitions with Chinese<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=english+vocabulary+by+topic\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">English vocabulary by topic \u2014 books on Amazon<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Random word lists fade fast.
